Hi All-

Just wanted to share pics from my SA of the medio sized D-bag in the Graphite - the color I have finally decided on. I tried out the light grey and camel-like colors in the calf, and while they are lovely, I couldn't incorporate them into my wardrobe. It is a deep grey color, but it has variations in certain lighting, almost going to a deep grey-brown. This color will work for me and I think it has an almost "industrial, modern" vibe to it. Love the stiching detail and silver hardware! While I know it may not appeal to all as compared to the other skins and colors available, I hope I will love it. I will post more pics once I receive!

Hi gchandler5...your bag sounds really nice. I'm excited to see pictures, did you post the pics?

gchandler5 · Oct 8th, 2009, 10:39 PM

Sorry all, finally got the pics posted. I just had to adjust their size :) Unfortunately, I think by adjusting the size it took away a little from the beauty of the skin. It has a nice, subtle sheen to it, like a glaze. Like I said, I will post more pics once I receive.

I love this bag!! The color sounds just perfect!Lambertson Truex made a bag in Buffalo skin, I missed it, regret it! The skin looks really nice and durable. Thanks for sharing. Post a picture with details in the ref thread.

Enjoy her, she is divine!

Looks like a nice, neutral color. I like the new D-bag.

Love it! Beautiful bag!

alisonanna · Oct 9th, 2009, 08:45 AM

ooh, I really like this color. I had the camel, but decided it was too delicate for me, I'm very wary of most light-colored bags. Yours has a beautiful texture, and I like the silver hardware a lot. Can't wait for more pics!
Is this the same price, or is it different for the buffalo? which size did you choose?

Congrats!

gchandler5 · Oct 9th, 2009, 10:13 AM

hi alisonanna, i went with the larger size and the price is 1545, so about $100 more than the calf. i will share more pics and opinion once it arrives.

gchandler, congrats! Enjoy this beautiful bag!

luvtods · Oct 11th, 2009, 01:28 PM

Beautiful bag!!!

kroquet · Oct 11th, 2009, 01:46 PM

Does this bag have a removable shoulder strap? I keep seeing the D Bauletto with one and then see some without. I am soooooo confused!!

gchandler5 · Oct 11th, 2009, 06:44 PM

hi kroquet, it does have a removable shoulder strap. I promise to share detail pics later this week when the bag arrives.

kroquet · Oct 11th, 2009, 07:06 PM

Thanks!!!! I love that bag and can't wait to see the detail!

meekopeeko · Oct 12th, 2009, 03:59 AM

Wow gchandler the texture looks really luxe! I can see why you think the graphite colour is the easiest to wear! Looks really sharp and modern without having to try too hard! Congrats!

kroquet · Oct 12th, 2009, 08:32 AM

gchandler - what is the weight of this bag?? I keep coming back to look and drool.
